Think about it. If you were allowed to do that, the full declaration
of My_Type could include a list - and you could end up with a record 
that contains itself...

A.My_Types_List cannot be in package B, it has to be a compilation unit.

But if you have other operations that need list, you could have a child 
package that contains the instantiation of lists + other operations on 
lists.
